@arucious To be fare, if I recall correctly WFC had the misfortune of coming out shortly before some other major FPS game came out. I had been playing WFC since release and that was really when the first major dip in population occurred.
@NickDynmo My wife and I thoroughly enjoy it, with no intention on going back to WoW for the foreseeable future. I see all the hate in the comments and insinuations in article titles, and I can't help but roll my eyes. At the end of the day all that really matters is that you're having fun, rather than the popular opinion that people like to enforce. I'm not saying everyone who dislikes the game is like that, there truly are some level headed people with legitimate complaints, but then there's the bandwagon with the megaphone that loves attention.
For all the flak it gets for bugs, I've been playing since launch and encountered very few notable ones, which was how WoW was during its initial release. And it's not that I hate WoW, I don't mind the Pandaren expansion coming up, but I'm just really burnt out on that world. Star Wars is a franchise I've loved since I was a kid, whereas I was only vaguely familiar with Warcraft when I started, so being familiar with everything kind of adds to my experience.
tl;dr - yeah I like the game, I'll be playing it for a long time
@bneg82 People have been saying they're going to quit WoW since the game was first released, mostly because Blizzard "ruins" the game with every patch, or nowadays that it's "not as good as vanilla". After playing WoW for several years, I know more people who quit playing than I do who kept playing.
Bottom line: people are finicky and the only real way to judge an MMO's success is to look at how it preforms in the long term. One month is not nearly enough time to properly gauge a game.
